More of the monks

Apparently my lesson wasn’t very exciting that day. I didn’t realize one of my students was dozing off until the lesson was over and a friend showed me this picture.

That’s Tom (one of my fellow TEFLers) with a group of monks outside the school building. I didn’t know what they were laughing about at the time, but apparently he was teaching them some pick-up lines in English.

That’s the school in Ban Phe. One of the monks tells me there are 250 students studying there, most of whom live in a building just behind the school. The monks rarely leave the school. He said he’s been into town just once since he came to the school about 4 months ago.
